can create with File::Temp but not unlink

[ybiC]

The following shows my first dabblings into File::Temp, which are essentially pulled directly from it's POD.

The first 2 functions, WERX and WERX2, will successfully create their files in /tmp/.   The second 2 funtions, DUNWERK and DUNWERK2, are supposed to also unlink their created file, but they don't work.

Far as I can tell DUNWERK does not create a file, and DUNWERK2 bombs with the following error:
undefined subroutine &main::unlink0 called at "this_script" line "unlink0..." <STDIN> chunk2.

What am I doing wrong here?

Good monk ChOas showed me that I needed to import "unlink0".   And I replaced $path in DUNWERK2 with $filehandle and renamed function to NOWITWERX.   Also fixed typo by replacing my$filename with my $filename in 2 places.  

That seems to fix everything, except DUNWERK still doesn't appear to create tempfile.   Since I can now create and unlink with NOWITWORKS syntax, this is good enough for now.   Thanks and ++ to ChOas.   8^)

Updated codelet below.

I can't get File-Temp to install via PPM (its there but ...) but the readme cautions about permissions on the dir. However, DUNWERK uses:
my $fh = tempfile($template, DIR => $dir);
and the rest use:
(my $fh, my $filename) = tempfile($template, DIR => $dir);
so ... array returns in scalar context or something?

Hi!

Eeeeehm.. Use 'unlink' instead of 'unlink0' ?

Ahem, my bad... didn't know much about the package ;))

How about importing unlink0 ? : use File::Temp qw(tempfile unlink0);

Thanks for the quick answer, ChaOs.   8^)
But attempting to import unlink via use vars qw(); results in the following error:   8^(

"unlink" is not exported by File::Temp at filetemptest.pl line n
Compilation aborted.

Hi,

Eeehm unlink is exported by main, I think,
but try and import unlink0 from File::Temp
Or try to import just everything exportable
Without specifying the functions
